Easter Chicks

3Ml have been welcoming some new arrivals to their class this week.
They have seen four chicks hatch in the classroom and it has been very exciting!
Two hatched on the 17th March so of course they were named 'Paddy' and 'Murphy' in mark of St Patrick's Day. Two hatched today and one of them has been named 'Brenda' so at the moment one is still awaiting a name!
Any suggestions for us?

St Patricks Day

March 17th is St. Patrick's Day. St Patrick is the Patron saint of Ireland. He is one of Christianities most widely known figures. But for all his celebrity, his life remains somewhat a mystery! Many of the stories associated with St Patrick, including the famous account of him banishing snakes from Ireland, are false, the products of hundreds of years exaggerated storytelling.
He is believed to have died on March 17th 460AD.

What is the question if the answer is 3?

Mr Watkins has generously donated prizes for the best questions.

First prize is a luxury Thorntons Easter Egg.
Second prize is a pack of four Cream Eggs.
Third and fourth prizes are a bag of mini Eggs.

Good Luck!

St Davids Day

Well, we are now into March and spring is nearly here!

We're beginning to have lighter mornings and evenings, and it all helps us to feel happier!

I couldn’t help but smile at the school entrance this morning. Lots of daffodils have bloomed and they look beautiful!

Take a look the next time you come in, it’s lovely!

We started off the month with St Davids Day. The 1st March is the feast day of St David, the Patron Saint of Wales. The date was declared a national day of celebration (within Wales) in the 18th century.

The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between the two is sometimes as great as a month but no matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow!
